Is looking at an eclipse any more dangerous than looking at the sun normally?

>>138432285
yes. keep looking the whole tyme too

>>138432285
Wrong. The corona is actually the most dangerous part to look at.

>>138432010
No. But people are going to force themselves to stare at the sun, a thing nobody usually does. Take some simple common sense measures.

>>138432010
No, it just doesn't hurt to stare at it unlike the regular sun, so you're more likely to do damage to your eyes.

1.
create decent sized fire
2. get flat sheet of glass (something like photoframe)
3. burn a thin carbon layer onto glass evenly distributed
4. look through it and not go blind

Speaking of which I have my whole shed as a pinhole projector too, it's where I do occasional astronomy already.

>>138431975
Staring at the sun for an hour won't kill you either

>>138432010
This, how is it any worse than looking at the sun normally? I get that you're not supposed to stare slack jawed at it for minutes at a time, but it's not like a quick glance at the sun is going to instantly seer your retina's. Why do they act like eclipses are super dangerous?

>>138431407
Go to a hardware store and ask for some welding goggles, use the you fucking nigger unless you want to be another blind nigger.

don't be retarded, just look at it for a half a second or you're going to burn out your retina.

>>138432686

Literally just look up and then look back down. Not like you gain anything by staring for more than a few seconds

I sold two pairs today for 30 bucks a piece. Got them for 1.75 each.

>>138432606
if you're in a really dark room, like say the earth when there's no sunlight to light it (total eclipse) and you're busy staring up at the fuckin sun, and then the sun peeks the brightest light you've ever seen or will ever see directly into your fully-dilated pupil, the back of your eye will be seared faster than your blink reaction, and then enjoy a sunburn sensation on the inside of your eyeball for an hour at least, with permanent damage at worst. it is that simple

Needs to be shade #14, the darkest available, otherwise you'll still damage your eyes.

There are no pain receptors inside the eye so you can't feel your retina turn to dust.

The main library in my city had a shit load of them for sale. My aunt is the librarian so she gave me 2 handfuls.

If you're in the totality zone you can look at it directly with no glasses for that 2min period. Has to be 100%, 99% will fuck your eyes up.

why the fuck cant i just point my cell phone at the damn eclipse and look at it on the screen

>>138432010
Yes, but only because your pupils are dilated. You can glance at the naked sun because your pupils contract to pinpoints.

Fun fact: the government doesn't make a big deal about it because they are worried that if they do, you might become distrustful of authority after hearing about people looking at the eclipse without any immediate eye damage. They would rather everyone get cataracts in 10 years than stop paying income tax.

People fuck their eyes up looking at partial eclipses of like 95% when it's dark. It's quite a bit different than looking at the sun and humans aren't really adapted to it because it's fairly uncommon.

>>138433309
>>full, unobstructed sun is less dangerous than when it's almost entirely obstructed

No, the PROBLEM, is that staring at the sun itself is dangerous for your retinas.

And when there is an eclipse, people BELIEVE that less light means "Absolutely Safe" so they tend to stare for longer....

But the corona is still pretty fucking bright, and can still damage your retinas.

The problem ISN'T that it's more dangerous during an eclipse, the problem is most people think it's NOT dangerous at all... and then people go blind from staring at it for too long.

>>138432916

no. C'mon, it might be safe, but anything highly reflective is still going to give you that damaging light. Research welding goggles. Can't say they're safe, and may be sold out in your area, but I would just take quick passing glances if you don't have any other options and you're not in totality. If you're in totality, wait till it hits, then no need for protection.

Take a cereal box. Put a piece of paper inside it, white printer paper at the bottom. Then cover 90% of the top part of the box with foil. Poke a hole in it.
